WISA (Water In South Asia) Series:
 
The CB project expects to produce a series of readers with basic reading material on water resources issues in South Asia largely written by South Asians. On each topic a workshop will be held, with commissioned papers. The papers will be the base material for the book/reader to be brought out. In each volume there will be a number of review papers (regional or thematic) and a number of in-depth (case) studies. In the longer term this material should be used to develop web-based or CD-Rom based education material.
 
The topics presently underway are:
a) IWRM in South Asia
b)
 Droughts in South Asia
c)
 Floods in South Asia
d)
 Gender and Water
 
These will form important resources for the IWRM education programmes in the CB project and outside it. The volumes will be published by Sage, India and made available at a low price so as to facilitate access to this knowledge base.
 

Additional topics will be finalised in consultation with the partners and in response to needs in the respective programmes. Likely topics include: Role of NGOs in Water Governance, Water resources and ecology, Water and poverty in South Asia; Participatory technology development for water resources management; Drinking water, sanitation and health in South Asia and several others.
